Jeez, what has this thread come to? I haven't even bothered to read it all but skimming through it there are mentions of tripods, monopods, lenses of other focal lengths! WTF!

OP simply asked "Best 24-70 f/2.8mm for handholding on D800?"

Obviously the answer is any 24-70mm lens with VR/VC.

Currently the option available is the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC.
